What is a Civil Rights Lawyer?
A civil rights lawyer is a legal professional specializing in defending individuals whose rights have been violated by others—government entities, corporations, or individuals.
Civil rights lawsuits are designed to protect your constitutional freedoms, including freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial, or protection against discrimination.
Civil rights lawyers handle cases in areas like:
- Police misconduct
- Discrimination (race, gender, age, disability)
- Unfair treatment in housing, education, and employment
- Voting rights violations
At Ben Crump Law, we specialize in helping victims of civil rights violations get the justice they deserve.

Common Civil Rights Violations and How a Lawyer Can Help
Civil rights violations come in many forms. Some of the most common violations that require the expertise of a civil rights lawyer include:
Police Misconduct and Brutality
Police misconduct cases, including excessive force and wrongful arrests, are unfortunately all too common in today’s society.
Victims of police misconduct can face life-altering consequences, and without a civil rights lawyer, they may struggle to get the justice they deserve.
Ben Crump Law has successfully handled numerous police brutality cases. For instance, in 2020, police misconduct resulted in nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd.
With proper legal representation, victims’ families have secured settlements and ensured that law enforcement officers are held accountable.
Discrimination in the Workplace
Discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, including unfair treatment based on race, gender, religion, disability, or age. Unfortunately, such acts of discrimination often go unnoticed or unaddressed without the help of a skilled civil rights lawyer.
Statistics show that workplace discrimination is a significant issue in the U.S. A 2019 report by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) found that they received over 67,000 charges of workplace discrimination.
If you feel you’ve been discriminated against, a civil rights lawyer can help you fight back and secure compensation for the harm you’ve suffered.
Housing and Public Accommodation Discrimination
Under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, discrimination in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability is illegal. However, these practices persist.
If you’ve been denied housing or mistreated by a landlord or housing provider, Ben Crump Law can help you hold them accountable.
Educational Rights Violations
Educational institutions must provide equal opportunities for all students. Unfortunately, school discrimination can prevent students from succeeding.
Whether it’s racial discrimination or denial of accommodations for students with disabilities, a civil rights lawyer can help ensure that your child receives a fair and equal education.
How Civil Rights Lawyers Hold Institutions Accountable
The job of a civil rights lawyer goes beyond helping individual victims. Lawyers like Ben Crump also play a critical role in exposing systemic issues.
By taking on high-profile cases, Ben Crump Law can expose injustice and push for necessary reforms in institutions that affect millions.
When law enforcement, companies, or public officials act unlawfully, a civil rights lawyer can hold them accountable through legal action.
This often leads to changes in policy that protect others from similar harm.

The Importance of Timely Legal Action in Civil Rights Cases
When your civil rights are violated, it’s crucial to act quickly. Legal cases have deadlines known as “statutes of limitations.”
If you wait too long to file your claim, you could lose your chance for justice.
For example:
- Police misconduct claims typically have a 2-year statute of limitations.
- Discrimination claims under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have 180 to 300 days, depending on your state.
By contacting Ben Crump Law as soon as possible, you can ensure that your case is filed on time and has the best chance of success.
